FinishedThe People & Planet International Photography Competition aims to select 53 photos to be published in the 2014 People & Planet: Social Justice & Environment Diary and Calendar. The Organisers are looking for 53 extraordinary images of people, places or objects which tell a story about a social-justice or environment issue. Photos of almost any genre will be accepted, including portraits, landscapes, animals, objects, or any combination of these. We particularly like photos which tell “good news” stories about social-justice or the environment.
